Quandoo is closing. Your bookings need somewhere to go.
Moving booking platforms comes down to four things: the guest list, the future bookings, the floor plan and every link that points at the old system. This page covers what changes when you move from Quandoo to BookMyVenue, what it costs, and the order to do it in.
Free migration · Published pricing from $99 a month · 0% commission · No lock-in
Quandoo has announced closure: its own website states the platform remains available until 30 September 2026 [Quandoo's own website (quandoo.com.au), observed 2026-08-27]. If your venue takes bookings through it, you need a replacement live before that date, and you should export your guest list now, ahead of the wind-down.
BookMyVenue is not affiliated with Quandoo. The closure date above is taken from Quandoo's own notice; check it for the current position before making a decision.
As at 2026-08-27
Quandoo was a marketplace; BookMyVenue isn't. The differences that matter, on the record:
| Quandoo | BookMyVenue | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | A: Closing; available until 30 Sep 2026 [Quandoo's own website, observed 2026-08-27] · B: Closed 30 Sep 2026 [same source] | Live and taking bookings |
| Model | Consumer marketplace: diners booked through Quandoo's own site and apps as well as yours, and it charged per cover under your agreement | A booking widget on your own website, under your own name; no consumer marketplace to be listed on |
| Cost per booking | Per-cover marketplace fees; the rate depended on your agreement, so check yours rather than trust a number we can't source | $0 per booking. No commission, no per-cover charge, from any source |
| Monthly price | None we can source and date, so none printed | From $99 a month +GST, 4 published plans |
| The guest list | Held in the marketplace account; export it before the platform goes offline | Yours, exportable any time |
We print no competitor figure without a source and an observation date. Where we can't source one, the cell says so.
The four things that have to move
- Your guest list. Years of names, numbers and visit history. Export it from Quandoo while you still can; once a platform is offline, that data is not recoverable. We import it free by CSV, with a dry run first so you see exactly what will land before anything is written, and it stays yours to export again any time.
- Your future bookings. Every reservation already in the diary, including the Christmas functions. They come across so nobody arrives to a venue with no record of them.
- Your floor plan and services. Tables, sections, sittings, turn times and booking rules, rebuilt from your existing setup so your team recognises the diary on day one.
- Every link that points at Quandoo. Your website's book button, your Google Business Profile reservation link, Facebook and Instagram. Miss one and diners hit a dead page. We repoint all of them as part of the migration.
Migration is free and most venues are live in about a week. If Quandoo is still online when you move, we can run both systems in parallel until you're comfortable.
